Re: "From All Walks of Life '92" Kick-off Rally - 6 May 1992
You are cordially invited to attend a kick-off rally for "From All
Walks of Life" to benefit the AIDS Action Committee (AAC) of
Massachusetts and other community-based agencies dealing with AIDS.
The Walk, characterized by some as a 6 mile block party, will be held
on Sunday, May 31st in Boston, starting at the Boston Common.
The Corporate Kick-off Rally will be in the MSO2 cafeteria on
Wednesday, May 6th from 9:00-11:00; a program is attached.
Digital is a major corporate sponsor of the Walk along with 40 other
businesses and organizations, large as well as small, many of whom are
Digital customers. Corporate sponsors help to underwrite the cost of
the Walk so that all the monies raised go directly to AIDS Action and
the 28 designated agencies. Last year nearly $2.3 million was raised
in one day.
Digital is a critical player in another way. Ever since we have been a
corporate sponsor, we have also been the largest single contributor to
the Walk. Each year we have more than doubled the number of walkers
and the monies raised. Last year, Digital contributed $100,000 to From
All Walks of Life in corporate sponsorship, matching gifts and employee
participation.
Come help us start this year's journey:
o Learn about DEC involvement, special events, registration
and on-site sign-up
o Learn more about AAC from their representatives
o Learn more about the Walk itself
o Learn about the recipient agencies
o Get pledge sheets, posters, buttons and other goodies
It's happening on May 6th . . . . . . . . Just say YES!

| From All Walks of Life '92 - May 31, 1992
"From All Walks of Life '92", which was held on Sunday, May 31st, was a
phenomenal success! 35,000 walkers raised more than $2,500,000.
More than 500 Digital employees walked, with their friends, loved ones,
children, spouses, families, partners, significant others, and/or parents.
Digital employees raised approximately $65,000, $50,000 of which will be
matched by Digital's Matching Gift Program. This amount will grow even
higher over the next month as final pledges drift in.
Digital Equipment Corporation, a major corporate sponsor of the Walk, was a
prominent player in the day's activities. Besides walking, Digital
employees also pitched in to be greeters, registrars, banner carriers,
corporate team tent workers, and photographers. The energy and the
enthusiasm on Sunday was overwhelming! Digital employees who registered
onsite or at the corporate team tent received a specially-designed Digital
T-shirt.
Nobody seemed to mind the rain-threatening skies thanks to lively
entertainment along the route and frequent refreshment stops. At the Walk's
finale, they played the Walk theme song, "That's What Friends Are For.",
which was simulcast on more than 90 radio stations. Everyone stood
arm-in-arm to sing along, and there were lots of smiles and hugs and tears.
We, who have worked to help make this year's Walk the most successful ever,
wish to each and every one of you. On behalf of the AAC, FAWOL'92, all the
recipient agencies, and Digital, we thank you for your support this year and
in all past years.
To thank you for your participation in "From All Walks of Life '92", you are
cordially invited to a THANK-YOU CELEBRATION BREAKFAST. We will have
pictures, a count on how much Digital employees raised, and lots of stories
to share about the Walk. Everyone is invited, whether you walked, volunteered,
sponsored a walker, etc..
Date: Wednesday, June 3, 1992
Time: 8:30 - 11:00 AM
Place: MSO2 Cafeteria
Again, thank you all very much! You each have made a contribution in the
fight against AIDS and you all have made a difference!
Sincerely,
The Digital FAWOL'92 Steering Committee
